Guy was putting his baby in a car seat when he was run down.
Pure speculation
Based on a search of her name, I found someone's resume online. That person is a private nurse's aide in the Watertown/Newton/Cambridge area. If they are the same person, I find it incomprehensible that a medical professional would flee an accident like that. It's boggling me to think that they wouldn't stop and try to help.
right, because medical professionals are gods?
Newsflash: despite what the medical profession would like you to believe, they're just the same as everyone else- human. They lie, rape, steal, cheat, and murder. So do policemen, so do firemen, so do priests...
No
What are you? 12 years old?
Because medical professionals have decided that their life's work is in aiding people in need. That takes a certain way of thinking and amount of empathy of which I don't think you're capable.
To help Alzheimer patients one minute and then leave a man bleeding from his head after bouncing him off of your windshield the next minute is a fundamental disconnect that you don't expect. Whatever totally inconceivable lack of judgment led her to hit that guy should have set off all of her caretaker instincts...but in this case it sounds like she shut that all down to escape instead. That's really mind-boggling.
That is so f'd up...
Great, my day has just been ruined. :(
I really hope the victim is able to pull through.
Fleeing the scene
I'd love to see a law that would take the usual charges and turn them into an automatic murder/attempted murder charge if the driver left the scene.
That would kind of put a premium on sticking around, now wouldn't it?
If your gun goes off and
If your gun goes off and kills someone, what charge do you get automatically?
The same exact charge should apply when youre using any legal but dangerous object, like a car.
Likewise, the same charge should apply for fleeing the scene
